BioPlex™ 2200 ANA Screen vs. Manual EIA
Prospective patient samples were tested for specific autoantibodies with both.
* dsDNA N = 832 samples with RNP N = 879 samples
WHO W/o 80 Standard
Testing was conducted to assess the quantitation claims of the BioPlex™ 2200 ANA Screen dsDNA assay results. This was carried out using the WHO W/o 80 external standard. Dilution linearity was confirmed with a correlation coefficient of greater than 99.9%.
BioPlex™ 2200 ANA Screen
Following CLSI EP5-A guidelines, the BioPlex 2200 ANA Screen positive control was run for 10 days for a total of 40 replicates at one clinical site. Overall performance showed intra-assay (within-run) precision between 2.5 and 4.7% CV and inter-assay (between-run) precision between 6.8 and 8.6% CV. This shows excellent reproducibility compared to other multiplex assays, whose inter-assay %CVs range from 5.5 to 42.8%. The low CVs on the BioPlex 2200 ANA Screen can be attributed to a) full automation, b) the magnetic bead, heterogenous format of the assay and c) 200 measurements per analyte (up to 4 times those of other multiplex methods).
The Medical Decision Support Software (MDSS) uses an interpretive algorithm trained with over 15,000 test results from a diverse cohort of over 1,400 clinically characterized patients. When used in conjunction with the ANA Screen, it is an optional laboratory tool that associates patient antibody results with predefined MDSS profiles that have been correlated with the following systemic autoimmune diseases:
An indirect assay format is used for the BioPlex™ 2200 ANA Screen
1. Patient sample (5 µL) automatically added to reaction vessel
2. Sample diluent & beads (dilution 1:60) added and incubated at 37°C
3. Wash step
4. Conjugate added and incubated at 37°C
5. Wash step
6. Bead resuspended in wash buffer
7. Flow-based, dual laser detection
ANA Screen Reagent Pack
Contains all the necessary reagents (sample diluent, beads, and conjugate) to process 100 patients and up to 12 results (14 outside of the U.S.) per patient.
ANA Screen Calibrator Set
Calibrators are ready-to-use and multiplexed. For dsDNA, a six-point 4PL fitted curve is used to calculate quantitative results. For the other analytes, a point-to-point curve fit using four calibrators is used to calculate semi-quantitative results.
ANA Screen Control Set
Quality controls are ready-to-use and multiplexed. The set includes a negative control as well as a multianalyte positive control containing antibodies to analytes within the ANA Screen Reagent Pack.
The BioPlex™ 2200 ANA Screen with MDSS detects clinically significant antibodies, providing the most relevant information for better diagnosis of systemic autoimmune diseases. Its multiplex technology permits simultaneous detection and identification of many antibodies in a single tube.
The system is intended for the qualitative screening of specific antinuclear antibodies (ANA), the quantitative detection of antibody to dsDNA and the semi-quantitative detection of ten individual antibodies (to chromatin, ribosomal-P protein, SS-A, SS-B, Sm, Sm/RNP, RNP, Scl-70, Jo-1, and centromere B) in human serum and/or EDTA or heparinized plasma. The ANA Screen detects the presence of clinically relevant circulating autoantibodies, which may be useful in diagnosing systemic rheumatoid diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD), Sjögren's syndrome (SS), scleroderma (systemic sclerosis), dermatomyositis, polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), CREST syndrome, and Raynaud's phenomenon.
The BioPlex 2200 Medical Decision Support Software (MDSS), used in conjunction with the ANA Screen, is an optional laboratory tool that associates patient antibody results with predefined MDSS profiles that have been correlated with the following systemic autoimmune diseases: SLE, MCTD, SS, scleroderma, and polymyositis.
The BioPlex 2200 ANA Screen with MDSS is the only autoimmune diagnostic product cleared for use with an interpretive software algorithm.

Dr. Billy Daughdrill was the assistant director of the first Pensacola area regional science fair back in Sputnik times (1957). In addition to directing many regional fairs, he twice directed the Florida State Science Fair. He retired from PJC as the Dean of Sciences, but still is involved in local fairs with his daughter Kim, the present regional director of the next Regional Fair at UWF. He now has 53 years of experience judging science fairs.
Dr. Bill Brantley got started with fairs in his native Mississippi in 1960. Since coming to PJC, he has also judged in many fairs now for 48 years. Now officially retired as a Professor of Physics, he still teaches as an adjunct with physics classes and labs at both PJC and UWF.
Wayne Wooten came to PJC in 1974 and served as Assistant Director for our regional fair for ten years, and State Assistant Director once. This is his 34th year of science fair judging, and he will be judging Earth and Space Science exhibits this year. His wife Merry judged botany awards at the regional and state fairs for many years as her health permitted. Their son Michael won the Grand Award for Physical Sciences at the Regional Fair in 1995 for his work with the impact of Comet SL-9 on Jupiter, and went on to win state and national awards. Students with whose projects Wayne assisted now serve as NASA's head scientist for publicity at Jet Propulsion Lab (Dr. Tony Phillips), a staff astronomer at Univ. of Arizona (Scott Gottila), and to graduate from PHS in May with a NASA scholarship, Vicki Glass, for her work with data reduction on EAAA photos of Comet Holmes explosion in October 2007.

Smart Shopping
When you do decide to spend your money, you want to make sure you get the best price. You don't want to spend $15 for a CD if you could have gotten it at another store for $12. There are lots of great ways to save money and be a smart shopper - if you know what to look for.
Comparison Shopping
Comparison shopping means you compare prices at different stores before you make a purchase. You don't have to get your parents to drive you to every store in the universe, though. You can do a lot of your comparison shopping online. Most large stores have websites where you can check the price of an item.
Sale Shopping
If your family gets a newspaper, you might already know that every Sunday the paper comes with a huge pile of ads from local stores. If you know you want to buy a certain DVD, you can check the sale ads to see if it is on sale anywhere. Sometimes stores print coupons in their ads that save you money on purchases as well. It's also important to know that if you buy something and the store puts it on sale the next week, you can usually go back and get the difference between what you paid and what the sale price is.
Earn Points
If there is a store you shop at a lot, ask if they have a shopper's card or a discount card. Many stores have special cards that give you extra discounts or earn you points toward a free purchase when you use them. You may also receive special coupons or offers in the mail. The store may require that only adults can have cards. If that's the case, ask your parents to sign up for one for you.
Bargain Hunting
There are lots of great ways to save money on things you want to buy. Try some of these ideas:
Impulse Shopping
Avoid buying on impulse when possible. Stores are designed to convince you to buy things. They don't really want you to take the time to think things over. It can be really tempting to snap up a T-shirt or a cool set of gel pens. You can spend a lot of money on these kinds of purchases if you aren't careful.
The better plan is to go home and think about it. Consider how much it costs and how big a bite that would take out of your weekly budget or your savings. Think about other things you might want to buy or things you are saving for. Weigh these things in your mind against the cool thing you just saw in the store. You might still decide you want to buy it.and that's OK! Once you've thought it over, you know it's something you really want and something that is worth that amount of money to you. You might also decide that you don't really want it, or you may not want to pay that much for that type of item. That's OK, too! Making these kinds of choices makes you a smart shopper!

HOFFMAN'S HONOR: On Tuesday, industry executives like Jones Group's Richard Dickson, Milly's Michelle Smith and Andy Oshrin, and Calvin Klein Inc.'s Tom Murry and PVH's Emanuel Chirico gathered at The Plaza for the UJA-Federation of New York luncheon. This year, the annual luncheon honored Brendan Hoffman, president and chief executive officer of The Bon-Ton Stores Inc. and Peerless Clothing International chairman and ceo Alvin Segal. The event raised $1.3 million, but for Hoffman's two children, who couldn't attend because they were still finishing school this week, there were more pressing concerns. "My 10-year-old son, Matthew, wanted to know what the award would look like," Hoffman told the crowd. "My eight-year-old daughter, Julia, wanted to know what they would be serving for dessert."

THE soon-to-wed Kareena Kapoor will retain her name after marriage to Saif Ali Khan on Oct 17, reports The Times of India.
Unlike Saif's mother, actress Sharmila Tagore who took on the name Ayesha Begum after marrying Saif's father, Indian cricket captain Mansur Ali Khan, who was the nawab of Pataudi. Kareena will retain her surname.
"Saif doesn't want me to change anything about myself, including my name, after marriage. So I will be Kareena Kapoor Khan. That means I have the privilege of having two of the most powerful surnames in Bollywood attached to my name," said Kareena. "My signature will have a triple K — KKK," she beamed.
Kareena comes from the legendary Kapoor family of Bollywood. Her great grandfather was Prithviraj Kapoor, her grandfather, the legendary Raj Kapoor, her uncles Shammi Kapoor, Sashi Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, and her father Randhir Kapoor.
The much-awaited wedding of Saif and Kareena will likely be a private affair at the Pataudi Palace, Saif's ancestral home, attended only by family members.
Aishwarya and baby to join Abhishek
ABHISHEK Bachchan, who is currently shooting Dhoom 3 in Chicago, wants his wife Aishwarya Rai and baby Aaradhya to join him soon, reports BollywoodMantra.com.
Lead actor Aamir Khan already has his wife Kiran Rao and baby son Azad in Chicago to keep him company. The shooting has been scheduled for three months. Aamir has rented a house there and as such gets to spend time with his wife and son after work.
This has probably prompted Abhishek to have his family over, too. Reports state that Aishwarya and Aaradhya will leave for Chicago soon. Recently Aamir and Abhishek were photographed enjoying a roller coaster ride at Chicago's Six Flags Amusement Park.
Hollywood stint for Karine
BOLLYWOOD actress Zarine Khan, a Katrina Kaif look-alike, has been offered a role in a Hollywood movie, reports The Times of India.
At the launch of a cosmetic brand in Mumbai recently, she said: "I have been offered the film but I am thinking about it. It is a thriller called Chimera, opposite Billy Zane. I have read the script."
Chimera is based on the novel The Fallen Angel.
Zarine debuted in Bollywood film Veer (2010), starring Salman Khan. Word was out then that Salman chose a Katrina Kaif look-alike for his film as he had just broken up with Katrina and wanted a "substitute".
She had minor roles in Ready (2012), Housefull 2 (2012) and the forthcoming Tamil period film Karikalan alongside Vikram. She will star again with Salman in a film titled Partner 2 next year.
Asked about her limited movie offers, Zarine said: "I really don't want to be in the race of newcomers, who are just running after the projects. It's not that I haven't been offered roles in films. I received a lot of offers after Housefull 2, but I want to take my time and do quality work rather than quantity."
All abuzz about Talaash
THE recently-released trailer of Talaash, starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji has set netizens abuzz, as the psychological thriller is trending high on Twitter, reports BollywoodMantra.com.
Talaash is a crime thriller about a cop working on a strange series of accidents that occurred at the same spot in the city. Things reach a climax when a film star dies in an accident that looks set up.
In investigating the case, Inspector Shekhawat (Aamir) seeks the help of a sex worker named Rozy (Kareena). Meanwhile, he is himself tormented by his troubled past, an accident that he can't forgive himself for. Rani Mukerji plays his wife. Directed by Reema Kagti, the film is slated for release on Nov 30.
Vadivelu's big comeback
KOLLYWOOD comedian Vadivelu who has been out of the limelight for more than a year is planning for a big comeback. He is ready to play the lead role in the sequel to his blockbuster, Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi, reports IndiaGitz.com.
The comedian is said to be busy with preliminary works related to the film and will make an official announcement when things fall into place. He's also said to be working on two other projects although the details are not known yet.
Vadivelu faced a setback when the DMK party he campaigned for in the recent Indian election, suffered a defeat. As such, he fell out of favour with filmmakers who seem to have pledged their alliance to the ruling party.
Amala returns to silver screen
SHE was the leading Kollywood actress in the 1980s and has wowed filmgoers with her Pan Indian looks. Although actress Amala left filmdom after her marriage to Telegu actor Nagarjun, she will be making a comeback in the soon-to-be-released Telegu film titled Life Is Beautiful, reports The Times Of India.
Knowing that Amala's Kollywood fans would want to see her again on the silver screen, director Sekhar Kammula has decided to also release the film in Tamil.
Amala plays a widowed parent. "It's not a comeback really... I've been playing mum at home... only now I'll be doing it in Sekhar's film," said Amala.
Her famous Tamil films include Mythili Ennai Kathali (1986), Velaikaran with Rajnikanth (1987), Pesum Padum and Vetri Vizha with Kamal haasan (1987) and Prabhu (1989).
Stop the speculations
THE media was recently abuzz with news that Kolaveri music composer Anirudh is composing the tunes for actor Simbhu's sequel Manmadhan 2. Simbhu or STR as he prefers to be known, has asked the media to stop their speculations, reports IndiaGlitz.com.
"Please stop writing about Manmadhan 2 as nothing has been confirmed and I have yet to finish writing the script," he told reporters.
The romantic thriller Manmadhan (2004) was such a hit that there were rumours that the sequel will have six heroines. STR is currently working on Vaalu, Vettai Mannan, Podaa Podi and Vada Chennai.

Using PS cs5 extended with win 7 pro. I've been trying to figure out how to make grunge (sp?) text. I figured I would need to make some type of layer with lines on it, put it above the text and then use a clipping mask. I don't know how to make the background layer with the lines. Any with this type of text would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
John Rich
Thanks for the reply. I had already seen that tutorial and it isn't exactly what I wanted. I didn't have the terms down. I appologize, but what I wanted was a way to make some texture which I could put above the text layer and then combine with the text so it looked like there were random lines through the text.. I hope that makes sense. Thanks.
John Rich
You could toggle through the texture layer's blend modes for best effect. If you just wanted lines from the texture, then using Lighten blend mode would overlay the lines on dark text, and darken blend mode would overlay dark lines on a lighter toned text.
Add a Layer mask to the Texture layer.
Or Cipping Mask the Layer with the texture to the Text Layer (command-alt-G).
Blue_Devil1, if you could prvovide (a link to) an example of what you are trying to emulate that might be helpful.
Hey, I didn't know that would work! I love learning a new trick.
I really appreciate your help. This TV channel, AMC has several shows with the text I want to try to emulate.
The Killing http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-killing
Hell on Wheels http://blogs.amctv.com/photo-galleries/hell-on-wheels-season-1-scrapbo ok/introduction.php
and FX's Justified http://vod.fxnetworks.com/watch/justified.
I downloaded a bunch of textures that were left out of CS5 (from Aobde) to use in texturizer, but they didn't seem to be as good as the previous link above (circle with TEST in it).
I'm not sure how to do that with a brush unless I just make a bunch of lines on a layer one at a time. Is that how I do it?
John Rich
Don't forget Filter > Render Fibers if you want lines. Clouds and Fibers are the two starting blocks for a huge number of illustrative effects.
Thanks. You guys are the best. I'd tried the fibers before, but there were too many lines (ie I couldn't figure out how to separate them).
I used a slight variation of C. Pfaffenbilcher's brush (ie I made the spacing 1000) and angled it at 45 and then made a couple of strokes and then changed to 135 and made a couple more strokes, creating sort of a cross hatched pattern.
Then I used Dennis' technique of creating a selection of the text and adding it to a layer mask on the pattern layer.
The only problem I had is the lines are faint, so the only way I could make them blacker (light orange text) was to duplicate the pattern layer with mask several times. Is there a better way to do this?
I was brushing using black. Also, is there someway to make the outside of the text irregular similar to the text in the circle shown by C. P. ?
Thanks again.
John Rich
Nice to see you here!
When "creating" Text with "character," there are many, many methods, and sometimes the background, or the use, will dictate one method vs another.
I usually go into the process with the idea in my mind, and use many of the variations outlined above. As I am less often trying to replicate an example, but instead, create something from the recesses of my brain. As you found out, the results can differ, depending on aspects, such as pixel x pixel Image Size/resolution. It's also great to have as many methods, as possible, to work with, as sometimes, a combo of techniques can yield vastly different results. Same for a bunch of Textures.
I often start with an older plug-in for Text, from the PhotoFX folk, and then go from there.
Also, creating Text as a Selection (like back in the olden days of PS), and then working from there, can be very, very useful.
Take care, and glad that the folk here got you what you wanted - they ARE good!
See 'ya,
The problem is I spend too much time making DVD menu's and I keep forgetting how to do much in Photoshop even if I did something before. Every once in a while I see something, I think is neat and I want to use if on the menu. Actually, I think the actual term I was thinking of was "Distressed Text", not grundge, but aside from a few details, I think I may have it now.
Thanks for your tips. That reminds me, I think I saw an article you did on Fonts somewhere. It would be great if you could tell me where that is.
If the lines are not strong enough, try copying the texture layer, and seeting the copy's blend mode to Multiply.
I completely understand. Many years ago (about PS 4.0 days), I did a series of tutorials for a graphics client, and many of those were doing "stuff" to Type. Some years later, I needed to apply some of those techniques, and could not even get started. Found the old WordPerfect tutorials, and had a good read of my own words, and it all came back to me.
Is this the article that you are referring to? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/479026?tstart=0
Good luck, and see you in the Encore Forum.
That;s it. I hope you won't mind when I email you about how to do this in moore detail.
Also, is there someway to make the outside of the text irregular
I use a (scaled) Pattern Layer set to Blend Mode Hard Mix and Gaussian Blur the underling layer.
The scale of the pattern and the strength of the blur determine the result.
But this results in black and white pixels, so one could do it at 200% size (for example in a Smart Object) and downscale it.
Try downloading some "grunge" brushes and use them on a mask over your text.
Thanks again guys.
1. I was able to make the lines with the above brush black by applying Threshold to the layer with the lines. .
2. I got the Hard Mix , gausian blur technique to work. Impressive how much a little gausian blur adds.
3. I found a pattern and put Threshold on it and saved it as a pattern and then used pattern overlay to applly it to the text which worked out pretty well (I dialed down the fill to 0 in the blending options).
4. Unfortunately, you lost me with your displacement instructions ie I'm not sure what 2 channels mean.
5. I'll give the grunge brushes a try.
6. I'm going to try making the pattern with the line brushes and then use the pattern overlay and see what happens.
Thanks again.
you lost me with your displacement instructions ie I'm not sure what 2 channels mean.
If the psd-file that is used as a Displacement Map is RGB, CMYK or multichannel the first channel is used for horizontal and the second for vertical offset.

With such a discrepancy in size and a surplus of wing players, it's understandable that the 3-point shot would become a prevalent feature of the offense.
Prior to the game against East Carolina, the Tar Heels attempted, on average, slightly below 20 3-pointers per game and made 37.7 percent of those shots. North Carolina attempted an average of 15 treys last season, connecting on just 33.5 percent.
"We've got great shooters on this team this year," junior Reggie Bullock told reporters after the game. "Me, P.J. [Hairston], Leslie [McDonald], we've been working on our shot and Marcus [Paige], too. I just feel like we're going to take shots if we're wide open."
Against East Carolina, UNC's shooters shot 42.8 percent from behind the arc on 14 attempts, including just four in the first half. Such a low number - this season - might indicate the offense is struggling. The Tar Heels made only one 3-pointer in an 83-59 loss to Indiana, as well as one in a 76-59 win over Gardner-Webb to open the season that was closer than some anticipated.
Despite the standard production from outside, North Carolina was still able to put up 93 points against East Carolina due in large part to its scoring effort in the paint. The Tar Heels outscored the Pirates in the lane 40-26 and made a season-high 19 free throws on 24 attempts.
The 4:1 free throw attempts to 3-pointers made ratio is far and away the highest of any game this season for UNC, but is still lower than the 4.75:1 ratio last year's team possessed. Even though the jerseys, coach and some of the players are the same, the difference between this year and last year can clearly be seen in that statistic alone.
Sophomore forward James Michael McAdoo scored a game-high 19 points and made a career-high nine free throws. McAdoo was the only true post player able to score effectively down low for the Tar Heels. James, Brice Johnson and Desmond Hubert combined for just seven points on 3-of-8 shooting.
Instead, the interior scoring came from players typically associated with their play on the outside. Bullock, Hairston and McDonald combined to shoot 28 times with just 10 of those attempts coming from long range.
"I think we get whatever we want," Bullock told reporters after the game. "I don't think any team is just going to back down and if they're open in the post, we're going to give it to them in the post. If we're open on the wing we're definitely going to shoot it."
East Carolina played man-to-man defense against North Carolina and even went to a press in the final minutes. This style caters to more scoring in the post via entry passes and the dribble drive than a zone defense does.
Strickland was particularly effective getting into the lane and finding open players for layups or short-range shots. The senior dished out a career-high 10 assists and notched the first double-double of his career with 12 points.
"I think it's always good for Marcus and myself to get into the lane and enable Reggie, P.J. and Leslie to knock down those shots," Strickland said. "That's what we always try to do; Coach loves when we do that. So if we continue to do that and those guys keep knocking down shots, I think we're going to be alright."
While the six-point win over the Pirates certainly had its tense moments down the stretch and is sure to make some of the Tar Heel faithful squirm, the team demonstrated it doesn't have to solely rely on the 3-ball to score points. They are capable of adjusting to a defense and finding the open shot, whether that be from outside or in the lane.
"Coach [Williams] really doesn't like saying, 'Take what we get,' because we don't want any team, like if they played zone, to make us shoot all threes," Bullock said. "We're still do the things that Carolina basketball has been doing for years, but I just feel like we take whatever is open."

Katy Perry needs help getting over breaks ups.By Jo Piazza for HowAboutWe
I don't know about you, but I've nursed most of my breakups with Facebook stalking, Ben & Jerry's, and a chaser of Tequila.
Apparently, the rich and famous have a better way of getting over an ex: hiring a heartbreak coach.
Plus: The Relationship Book You Can't Afford to Miss
According to recent reports, singer Katy Perry has secured herself a personal heartbreak coach to get over her messy divorce with Russell Brand, and to aid her in making better relationship decisions (anyone, but John Mayer) in the future.
Oh celebrities! Sometimes they do the silliest things. But when you think about it, is hiring someone to coach you through heartache actually that crazy?
Plus: 8 Dating Apps That Seriously Creep Us Out
We have coaches for just about everything these days. There are life coaches and business coaches and financial coaches. And when it comes to relationships, the coach roster includes ones for dating, flirting, seduction, the list goes on. But Aurora Winter is a breed of coach I had never encountered until this week. She's the kind of heartbreak coach that people like Katy Perry hire.
Winter wasn't always a heartbreak coach. The death of her husband when she was just 31 inspired her to become the Eric Taylor of breakups.
Just a few years after her husband passed away, Winter decided she wanted to get married again. She visualized the perfect partner and made a detailed list of all his qualities. Winter told me she prayed to bring this ideal soulmate to her. Then she began to have doubts. She realized that she wasn't exactly ready to be the perfect mate herself. Winter was her own first client. She began coaching herself back to game-shape.
Plus: How to Know If You Are Actually 'On a Date'
"As I worked on myself, I shifted from attracting men who didn't have their act together to men who were at the top of their game, including: Noble Peace prize winner, Oscar winner, successful businessmen worth millions, men who are making a real difference in the world," Winter said. She wouldn't reveal the identities of these magical men, but she assured me they were very real.
And hence, a new career began.
Granted, Winter coached herself through a death, not a breakup. She recognizes there is a difference; still, she's insistent that a heartbreak is a death of sorts, which means her clients go through something similar to grief coaching before they get back in the game.
"Grief is the loss of hopes and dreams and the death of a relationship is a death," Winter said. "The longer you cherish those hopes and dreams, the longer your identity is entwined with that person and the more heartbreak there is."
Plus: Nostalgic Date Ideas: The Best Dates to Make You Feel Like a Kid Again
Over the past twenty years, Winter has developed what she calls "red carpet rapid release coaching" for celebrities and the wealthy. The training consists of one day of one-on-one phone coaching with about a half dozen follow up calls afterwards.
"People at the top of their game want to be the very best at everything, including happiness and love. That's why the best of the best have coaches!" Winter said.
Winter distinguishes her coaching from therapy by insisting that she sees her clients as whole and complete, no matter what their state of anguish may be.
"I don't start from a place where their life is broken," Winter said.
But her services do not come cheap.
Plus: It's Time to Shatter The Last Remaining Glass Ceilings
A "red carpet" breakthrough day with Winter is $10,000. That provides private one-on-one VIP coaching that she says is designed to take a client from heartbreak to happiness in a day.
For those on more of a budget, Winter has a team of coaches who operate on a sliding scale close to about $200 per hour.
We didn't have $10,000, but Winter was nice enough to provide some coaching secrets on the cheap:
Aurora's 5 Tips for Getting Over a Breakup
1. Get clear - Get clear on your core values and goals for your new relationship. Describe your ideal partner's top 12 characteristics and put them in order of priority. For example: a good listener, successful, values family, loyal, kind, creative, attentive, healthy, handsome, self-confident, likes to travel, owns a home.
2. No mixed signals - Look at your list of the top 12 characteristics. The top 3 are your "must have's." For example: a good listener, successful, values family. Don't even have a coffee date with someone who doesn't have those top 3 traits. Use your dates to discover if they have the top 6 traits. If they do, that's a relationship worth exploring.
Plus: Even If You Want Kids, Will You Ever Get Around to Having Them?
3. Release the past - Bitterness, resentment and anger are common after a divorce or breakup. People who have lost a spouse to death frequently yearn for their late husband or wife. "Nothing repels new love faster than unresolved grief over the past," Winter said.
4. Improve yourself - Improving yourself is a powerful way to attract your ideal mate. Do you have the top 12 traits yourself? If not, work on self-improvement. "When I described my ideal partner, I asked myself if I was a match for the amazing man I had just described," Winter said. "I wasn't. So I got to work on myself. Now, years later, my life partner is everything I had on my list - and more."
5. Choose gratitude - Every day, write down 5 things that you're grateful for. Notice at least one thing you appreciate about yourself. It might be your kindness, your smile, or your parenting. Refuse to give any energy to negative or critical thoughts. "So often people self- sabotage because they subconsciously think they don't deserve their ideal partner. The antidote is gratitude," Winter said.

In the past, dentists used nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as one of their primary anesthetics. Several observers of the debate thought Joe Biden might have had a double dose prior to the confrontation. One pundit went as far as to say, "Joe must have had one Red Bull too many."
It was clear from the start that Biden was determined to take the offensive and to spearhead it by demeaning Paul Ryan as some sort of upstart. For his part, Ryan was remarkably cool and maintained his composure despite the frequent interruptions (82 by count) by Biden. At one point in the evening, Ryan did tell Biden that he would be able to make his point if Biden ceased to interrupt him. Along the same lines the moderator, Martha Raddatz, appeared to join Biden in quizzing Ryan about his facts. This came as no surprise since Raddatz is a product of her left-leaning network. On the other hand, her treatment of Biden seemed to be a personal cozy chat. Joe reciprocated by leaning forward and making close eye contact with Martha.
Following the debate, most of the people in the "spin room" focused on Biden's laughter rather than any discussion of substantive matters. The only person that gave Biden a "thumbs up" was a distraught-looking David Axelrod, Obama's guru.
Ryan probably got in the best "zinger" of the night when he noted to Biden that even his words didn't always come out the right way.
Ryan possibly missed two great openings to rebut Biden when the Vice President said that Obamacare made special accommodations for the Catholic Church when it came to contraception and when he tried to shift the blame for the Benghazi attack to the intelligence community. As to the church question, the Catholic Church is still in the process of suing the administration over the Health Care Law. Furthermore, in sworn prior testimony that week, respected members of the intelligence community stated they had asked for additional security in Libya but were refused.
In most organizations, particularly the military and the government, there is a table of organization where there is a direct line between underlings and top echelon people. Apparently in the Benghazi incident, the Intelligence Department did not talk to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of State's office did not talk to the administration.
Biden was vehement in his assertion that neither he nor the President was ever alerted. For some inexplicable reason Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was quick to go on TV the next day to further the "stonewalling" that is currently being done by the White House.
All in all, Biden's debate performance ranged from arrogant to zany and it will be interesting to see if President Obama is able to clean it up tonight. It will also be interesting to see if Obama's trademark toothy grin is as good as Biden's.

Yukon Territory: Places to Explore
Near the White Horse Rapids of the Yukon River, Whitehorse began as an encampment in the late 1890s, a logical layover for gold rushers heading north along the Chilkoot Trail toward Dawson. The next great population boom came during World War II with the building of the Alcan—the Alaska-Canada Highway. Today this city of more than 22,000 residents is Yukon's center of commerce (the only Walmart and Tim Horton's for hundreds of miles), communication, and transportation, and the seat of the territorial government.
Besides being a great starting point for explorations of other areas of the Yukon, the town has plenty of diversions and recreational opportunities. You can spend a day exploring its museums and cultural displays—research the Yukon's mining and development history, look into the backgrounds of the town's founders, learn about its indigenous First Nations people, and gain an appreciation of the Yukon Territory from prehistoric times up to the present.

how go i get the position of my extension panel relative to the screen?
I'm using a CSXSWindowedApplication for a Premiere extension and thought
stage.nativeWindow.x, stage.nativeWindow.y
nativeWindow.x, nativeWindow.y
should do it, but I always get back
0, 1050
1050 being they resolutuon of my screen,
okay, this seems to be a bug (in the Premiere SDK?),
as the exact same extension hosted by Illutrator shows the correct position when using
stage.nativeWindow.x, stage.nativeWindow.y
nativeWindow.x, nativeWindow.y
What I'm trying to do is position a new window (type tooltip) relative to certain items in my main panel,
therefore I wanted to know the x and y position of that panel. Is there any other way to do this?
The function you're looking for is nativeWindow.globalToScreen(), see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/fla sh/display/NativeWindow.html#globalToScreen()
Again, this function is dependent on the application's implementation, so like what you've already seen with x/y position, its support will vary between applications.
Thanks, I should have mentioned that I had tried that too. Same result when using these:
nativeWindow.globalToScreen(new Point(x,y)) );
nativeWindow.globalToScreen(new Point(mouseX,mouseY)) );
stage.nativeWindow.globalToScreen(new Point(tabNavigator.x,tabNavigator.y)) );
Again, in Illustrator the above code works fine, in Premiere it always returns (0, screen y resolution).
Any other ideas are very welcome, positioning a window relative to another one should be a pretty basic part of the api.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By David Hench email@example.com
Staff Writer
PORTLAND — The managing owner of the Portland Pirates hockey team could face jail time on a charge of drunken driving with a blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit.
Brian Petrovek, 57, of Yarmouth was driving his black Jeep Wrangler about 1 a.m. Wednesday in downtown Portland when the vehicle hit the concrete barrier that runs down the middle of Spring Street, according to the accident report.
Nobody was injured and no other vehicles were involved.
A passer-by called police to report that the Jeep was stuck on the median at the intersection of Spring and Center streets, at one corner of the Cumberland County Civic Center, where the Pirates play.
When police arrived at 1:18 a.m., Petrovek was in the Jeep, revving the engine and trying to free the vehicle from the barrier, police said.
Police did not say Thursday how the Jeep was immobilized by the median, which is about 2 feet tall.
An officer gave Petrovek a field sobriety test and charged him with operating under the influence. Police said a blood alcohol test later indicated a level of 0.25 percent, more than three times the level of 0.08 percent for a driver to be legally intoxicated.
If convicted, Petrovek could face at least 48 hours in jail, a fine of at least $500 and a 90-day suspension of his driver's license. The jail time is a mandatory minimum when a driver's blood alcohol content is 0.15 percent or more.
Petrovek was taken to the Cumberland County Jail early Wednesday and was released at 9:45 a.m., after someone posted his $500 bail, according to the jail's staff.
State records show that Petrovek has no driving infractions in Maine and does have a number of safe-driving credits.
The accident report says he was "not able to describe his actions prior to the crash." Police were unable to say Thursday where Petrovek had been drinking.
Petrovek did not return telephone calls seeking comment Thursday.
Jo Morrissey, a spokeswoman for 21 Reasons, a coalition that seeks to prevent drinking by minors, said the incident deserves further investigation.
"Unfortunately, no one is immune from abusing alcohol," she said. "To me, the larger issue is who served him." She noted that it is against the law for establishments to serve liquor to people who are visibly intoxicated.
Petrovek is the managing owner/CEO of the Portland Pirates, responsible for managing the business side of the American Hockey League team.
The Pirates are in their second year as the AHL affiliate of the Phoenix Coyotes, the NHL team that provides coaches, players and support staff.
The Pirates have an ownership group that is led by a Boston lawyer, Lyman Bullard, and includes Petrovek.
Bullard did not return a phone call seeking comment, and a spokesman for the Pirates and the Coyotes declined comment.
The Pirates did issue a statement on the team's Facebook page:
"The Portland Pirates want you to know that Brian regrets his lack of discipline and poor judgment which led to his arrest for OUI early Wednesday morning," the statement said. "Brian would like the community to know that he made a mistake and hopes that the people reading and watching these news reports learn from his experience and make better choices. He accepts that he made a poor decision and hopes that everyone refrains from drinking and driving during this holiday season."

Mauviel Copper Zabaglione Pot
- Summary
Zabaglione is one of Italy's classic desserts. Create the warm custard of beaten egg yolks, sugar and Marsala wine using this zabaglione pot made of unlined copper, which helps stabilize the custard's foamy consistency and provides superb temperature control.
- Unlined 1.2mm-gauge copper for superior heat conductivity and temperature control; copper also helps to stabilize the custard.
- Round bottom facilitates whisking for a light, fluffy consistency.
- Riveted cast bronze handle.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 8" diam., 5 3/4" high.
- 3 1/2-qt. cap.
- 2 lb. 12oz.
- Made from 1.2mm-gauge copper.
- Made in France.
- Use & Care
- Ideal for gas and electric cooktops.
- Because the copper pot is unlined and highly reactive to ingredients, it should be used only for preparing zabaglione or beating egg whites – never for general cooking.
- Allow pot to cool before washing.
- Hand-wash; dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Avoid using steel wool, steel scouring pads or harsh detergents.
- Copper will develop a rich patina over time. This will not affect the pan's cooking performance. To keep the exterior looking new, use a copper polish or a combination of lemon and salt.

Canal Fest
- Canal Fest
Chasing light, catching shadows
Local artists braved the heat and easel-endangering gusty breezes Friday to take part in the first Canal Fest Paint Out, sponsored by the Carnegie Art Center in North Tonawanda. The Carnegie's building on Goundry Street served as a home base of sorts for artists, providing parking, a bathroom and a place to sit down while they scouted out painting locations throughout the area.
